Following the game seven wins by the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Anaheim Ducks, the order for the NHL Draft is known for all eliminated teams and the Montreal Canadiens will select 25th in each round.
The Canadiens draft behind teams that finished ahead of them in the standings like the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild because they won their division. Division winners who do not make the conference final pick at the bottom of the first round regardless of how many points they picked up, and then they are sorted amongst each other.
